RE: WG Letter Ballot on 1904.1-Rev/D2.0 - BALLOT FAILED TO CLOSE

[Glen Kramer <gkramer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,

 

With only 66% of voting members responding, the initial WG ballot on 1904.1-Rev/D2.0 has failed to close.

I am extending the ballot for 2 more days, until Friday, December 4^th, 11:59PM EST.

Meanwhile, I will be contacting individual voting members who did not respond to understand their reasons for not submitting the ballots.

 

Thank you,

Glen

Dear Colleagues,

 

At the 1904 October meeting, the voting members have passed a motion to produce D2.0 and initiate the working group ballot.

The draft D2.0 is available at http://www.ieee1904.org/private/revision/projects/1904_1_2013/drafts/rmtf_1904_1_2013_drafts.shtml.

A marked-up version shows the changes versus the approved IEEE Std 1904.1-2013 standard. This version is provided for your reference only.

All the comments, if you have any, shall be submitted against the clean version of the draft rmtf_1904_1_2013rev_D2_0_clean.pdf  (http://www.ieee1904.org/private/revision/projects/1904_1_2013/drafts/D2_0/rmtf_1904_1_2013rev_D2_0_clean.pdf).

 

The schedule for the D2.0 WG ballot is as follows:

·         Friday, October 30, 2015 — Start of WG Ballot Period

·         Tuesday, December 1, 2015 — Ballots and Comments are due

·         Monday, December 7, 2015 — Editor's proposed responses are due

 

To submit a ballot and comments, please use the following online form: http://www.ieee1904.org/private/revision/rmtf_ballotproc.shtml.

All comments shall be submitted using the provided comment file: http://www.ieee1904.org/documents/templates/anwg_YYMM_comments_lastname_n.xlsm.

 

Voting in WG ballots is required for maintaining WG voting rights. WG voting members may submit one of these votes:

·         Approve. (May attach non-binding comments.)

·         Do Not Approve. (Shall attach specific comments on what shall be done to the draft to change the vote to “Approve”.)

·         Abstain. (Shall include reasons for abstention.)

 

One of the requirements to progress the draft to the next stage (i.e., to Sponsor ballot) is the 2/3 or greater approval ratio [counted as Approve/(Approve+DoNotApprove).]

A ‘Do Not Approve’ vote shall be accompanied by at least one ER or TR comment.

A ballot is considered invalid (failed to close) if less than 75% of voting members reply or if abstentions comprise 30% or more of all returned ballots.

 

 

Regards,

Glen Kramer
